Filed To Story: Dumped by Scumbag Adored by Billionaire

Blood slowly poured out from the affected fi**ger and I instinctively grabbed his hand guiding the injured fi**ger into my mouth and s**kled it.

I felt the strong metallic taste in my t***ue and s**ked on it further trying to stop the bleeding without knowing I just woke a sleeping lion.

My little innocent rescue was so sudden that I didn’t have the chance to think twice about the repercussions until I looked up …..and froze

**************************************************

Maria’s Pov

I wasn’t mistaken, his face was burning with pure desire, his gaze was so piercing and burning that I felt he would gobble me up if care was not taken.

*Cough *cough * Awkward *

I flung his fi**ger away speedily as if bitten by a poisonous cobra when I felt Emily’s and Eden’s heated gaze on me, how could such an innocent gesture become ambiguous in a twinkle of an eye .

I didn’t bother explaining knowing it wouldn’t help clear the misunderstanding in the air, cause they already have a bias opinion of what happened moreover a clear conscience fears no accusation.

“I-I g-get the first-aid ” I incomprehensibly said and rushed to my room. I ran to my room as if being chased by the devil and locked the door tight.

I located the first-aid but stood before my dark brown wood mirror with built-in stand and became stunned at the view.

My face was scarlet red while my cheek continuedly burned with shame as I recalled the scene from moments ago.

This is nothing Maria , you were just trying to be a good Samaritan and not taking advantage of the poor guy.

I tried to assure myself while calming my frantic heart but my view consciously fell on my l*ps and when I remembered how I s**kled on his fi**ger , my cheeks burned once again .

Geez! How am I going to treat him when my emotion’s a complete wreck?

I was suddenly startled by a heavy knock on my door and my eyes darted around searching for the first-aid box but I couldn’t get to it in time cause an impatient knock resonated a second time.

I frowned and went to answer the constant knocks while trying to guess who would want to bring my door down .

But I never expected to see Niles f**king Sparks in all his glory, his l*ps curve a smug smirk that spoke volumes , I could clearly see ‘Thanks for falling into my trap ‘ printed all over his face.

I s**ked in a sharp breath, internally praying for strength to fight the battle ahead plus the grace not to throttle this guy to death.

“What are you doing here? ” I asked, displeasure clearly written on my face.

He frowned upon my cold reception “Isn’t it obvious? “

“What is obvious? ” I retorted

He smiled, a cute but evil smile that clearly told me this guy was up-to no good.

“You were gone for so long , so I came to check up on you incase you’ve gotten into an accident judging from your clumsy nature ” He subtly concluded and stepped into my room without me letting him in.

I glared lasers at him.

Just like father like daughter, they both have the knack for rendering someone speechless.

“Well as you can see, I’m fine! ” I roared back, suddenly wondering if he could ever start a conversation without being rude or sarcastic.

“You’re welcome ” he t**sed and walked past me, his body intentionally brushing past my arm yet sending tingles down my body.

I shivered unconsciously, realizing it was dangerous being in close contact with this man.

I stepped back making a mental note not to touch this guy especially now we were the only beings present in this small room.

Suddenly it felt like all the air in this room became thin, I fanned my cheeks with my hands cause it was blazing hot but my eyes couldn’t help but wander as I took in the looks of the hot eye candy before me.

Today he wasn’t wearing his intimidating business suit but was dressed in a simple dark blue shirt that wasn’t exactly flashy but trendy and appealing to the eyes with a white slack that probably cost a lot.

His short sleeves exposed his strong powerful muscles that rippled with strength while my throat dried at once as previous memories of that capable bulging muscles snaked around my waist surge my senses.

“Nice room “

“Huh? “

” Judging from the fact your rooms neat and arranged perfectly with nothing out of place , I can tell you enjoy stability “

“Oh ” Was all I said when my gaze fell upon him taking in the appearance of my room.

He’s really talking about my room not me.

My eyes darted across my room, how could I not love stability?  It was all I could ever wish for since I wasn’t raised in one.

“How’s your fi**ger? ” I asked purposely changing the topic which he noticed but surprisingly, he complied with me.

He raised his fi**ger upward for me to have a better view of it.

“It’s all good now thanks to the wonders of your mouth “

“….”

I stared at him dumbfounded but I slowly comforted myself with the fact that he’s the world’s number one flirt so I shouldn’t take it personal.

Not minding the playful smirk on his face nor the fact my heart was about to leap out of my ch*st , I slowly took his hand in mine and examined the injured fi**ger.

The no-contact rule forgotten at once.

Thankfully it wasn’t bleeding anymore and on a closer inspection, it seem he had cleaned the wound before coming in.

“I’ll get the first-aid “I murmured and looked away when I noticed the misleading smile on his face.

If one would take a closer look, he looked like a young innocent love – starved teenage who has fallen inlove for the first time but I knew otherwise .

He’s just trying to win me over like his other conquered women and I wouldn’t be so stupid to be the latest addition to his harem .

Sadly, my body always betrays me.I couldn’t understand why I was so attuned to his touch

– to him.

Knowing I was under his scrutinizing gaze , I meticulously picked up the first-aid box from under my bed and headed back to him where temptation number two began.

Because this was my bedroom there wasn’t a chair for him to sit on , so he had to sit at the edge of my bed and like an emperor waiting to be served, he sat majestically for me to attend to him .

I cautiously approach the bed eyeing his body language so I could know when to pull out my pepper spray.

Thankfully enough, he behaved as I applied the ointment on his affected fi**ger.

Lucky for him it had being a minor cut, it didn’t cut too deep or over a joint nor did his fi**ger feel numb so calling a health provider was not needed.

“When last did you have a tetanus shot?” I asked immersed in my treatment that I didn’t notice his face drawing close to mine.

“Twenty years ago? “

“Stop bei….” I froze when I looked up
